About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Tromso (TOS) to Skavsta (NYO)?

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tromso to Stockholm. While takeoff offers dramatic fjord scenery on the right, the landing approach provides more sustained and varied views. The descent over Mälaren and the Swedish archipelago offers a longer window of interesting geography, and left-side seats capture this entire sequence effectively.

Notable sights include: Tromsø Bridge (distinctive cable-stayed structure connecting the islands), Tromsøysund fjord (dark water channel below), Kvaløya island (mountainous terrain to the east), Ullsfjorden (larger fjord system visible during climb).
